CONNECTING TO POWER
The RESCUE LIFE defibrillator/monitor operates on AC (line) power or with internal
rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.
You can switch from battery to AC power or AC power to battery while the device is on
and in use by plugging in or unplugging the AC power cord.
AC Operation
The AC Mains LED illuminates, when the RESCUE LIFE defibrillator/monitor operates on
AC power. When the defibrillator is not in use, maintain better the battery charge
connecting the power cord to an AC outlet and turn off the defibrillator.
Battery Operation
The defibrillator automatically switches to battery power when the power cord is
disconnected from an AC outlet or from the defibrillator. The internal Lithium-Ion
battery is rechargeable and intended to be used for standby operation.
A new, completely charged battery provides approximately 150 shocks at 230 J
discharges, 250 minutes of pacing, or approximately 330 minutes of continuous
monitoring before the defibrillator turns off.
Connect instantly the power cord into an AC outlet to continue use and start recharging
the battery, when the LOW BATTERY message appears on the screen.
If low battery messages often appear, the battery may need to be replaced.
Please contact ELPRO S.r.l. or qualified service personnel for assistance.
In order to improve the monitoring performance we suggest to connect the defibrillator
to AC power after each use to recharge the battery.
Normally, new fully depleted batteries recharge for 3 hours to regain full capacity.
